Lost music
I lost all my music on my phone-they were from CDs from years ago. How do I get them back? I backed up the phone before I synced it in case something like this would happen, but my 1000's of songs didn't restore! Help!
iPhone 11, iOS 15

Songs are not included as part of the iPhone backup - even purchased ones from the iTunes Store. You can redownload those:

Songs that you got from a CD which are part of your iTunes or Music library on your computer can be re-synced to your iPhone:

If you subscribed to Apple Music on your computer & iPhone, then they may have been uploaded to the cloud. Turn on Sync Library. Learn how.
